A defence industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience, Vecchiolla joins Qinetiq US after serving on its Special Security Agreement Board since April 2024. His career spans military service, public sector leadership and defence industry executive roles.

Vecchiolla spent 22 years as a U.S. Navy pilot and DoD Acquisition Professional before transitioning to public service as national security and military affairs advisor on the U.S. Senate staff.

He subsequently assumed responsibility as president and chief executive of ST Engineering North America responsible for all U.S. operations of a diverse industrial and technology portfolio.

"This is an exciting time in the U.S. market and a timely opportunity to build on Qinetiq's strong foundation," said Vecchiolla.
